roof spoiler

alignment
brakes
3sgte
new/refurbished tranny and axles
short shifter
sway bars
fr. and rr. strut bars

here is the new list of things to do:

Suspension all the way....new everything drop maybe 1.5"-1" DONE
bushings

strut bars front(better) and rear(gt4)
sway bars

alignment


steel braided brake lines

fix/rebuild/beef up the 5sfe or 3sgte swap now cuz everyones boosted

port/polish

lightened flywheel done and stage 2 clutch
w/new tranny and axles cv boots and all that stuff

CAR IS REPAINTED BUT NOT FINISHED!!!
waiting on GOLD (closest color to gold??) pearl and clear coat

[goferris]

why not the short throw shifter? it's an easy mod and looks great.

doesnt shortening the high of the stick and throw make you use more energy/force to shift???? well i heard that from someone forgot who but yeah i like how the stick is at normal.........you know what i dont know if the previous owner put a short shifter.........cuz i had my friends drive my car and they say the shifts are short????? dunno maybe i already have SS on my car...............

Sounds sweeeet keep us updated with pics

here is the most recent pics wash, clay bar, wax, buff machine =
the paint is old it looks faded up close.

[azian_advanced]

suspension-wise, i would do it in this order:
struts/shocks + springs
strut bars
sway bars & bushings
top mounts
but the order is totally up to you...

[808celica]

oh that order i typed was all one time thing........i'll prolly buy things piece by piece and have then pile up until i have everything......then put them all together in 1 day or a weekend.

but knowing me i'll have an itchy finger to put this on the minute i buy them.........lol

as for the 3sgte part............i realized i dont need it since i live in hawaii a HUGE @$$ circle........prolly might dress up the engine bay for shows but imma make this car grip like the hell on the road.


***note:i'm still 18 i already have stuff done to the car that most haven't yet. i'm kinda ahead of my game. imma take things slower.****

just a side note.......lol

[xs94st]

yea. i have bootleg a55 sideskirts drilled into my car..wish i could get some like yours but im butt a55 poor.

good luck with everything man. when you have a nice import like a celica or any other, its hard to not wanna touch n tweak with it and replace stuff n rebuild stuff n swap stuff..i have so many plans but i can only afford one kyb at a time..lol.

best of look to you

aloha

[808celica]

top secret gold as you paint would be soooooooooooo sick bro!



i'll beat u to the featured ride! so far u are leading, i will catch up!

[808celica]

yeah of course you will i gots limited income

top secret gold?!?! nah paint is too expensive to buy......maybe i could get that in pearl flakes.......or micro-sequence.

i forgot to mention..........VIP influenced interior i.e. leather seats, light up door sills, JP pillows, JP tissue box, and maybe VIP curtains

[CelicaST_CALI]

hahah do the 2000$ thing we talked about ,haha yea those seats need some lovin......

[808celica]

HA! we'll see. i really want a VIP style interior. im working on cutting these extra door sills so i could have them lite up blue and words cut in would be Celica Club Oahu

[CelicaST_CALI]

hahah wat a poser

[808celica]

a poser that looks good just hanging way too much around my VIP friends.

i might take out to top half of my rear seats and leave the bottom just so people car sit inside. and possibly put some kind of decoration in place of the top half????
